Import Tips
• Document pressure testing results to substantiate dive-specific design, distinguishing from general titanium parts
• Ensure no precious metal inlays, as even minor cladding shifts to heading 9102 per note 2
• Use HTS advisory rulings for helium valve features to preempt disputes on 'parts of general use' exclusions
